Children’s Internet Protection Act

The next act we will address is the Children’s Internet Protection Act, or CIPA, codified at 47 U.S.C § 254. The act is an effort to regulate computer access to adult-oriented Web sites in libraries and public schools. In order for public schools and libraries to receive discount rate Internet service, they must certify they have installed filtering software preventing access by minors to obscene or pornographic depictions deemed harmful to children.
